Chapter 305: Meeting Emperor Jing, getting promoted to a higher position! (Please double the monthly ticket!)
The cold, dark, and distorted starlight was reflected on the dragon scales. The dragon scales quickly faded, revealing wheat-colored skin.
"One piece is burnt, one is red, and one is white, just like cupping. Yes, the Tianji robe and almanac have been burned to ashes." Zhao Xing patted it twice, and the ashes fell from his body.
The power of the Fuming Oven was so great that even if Zhao Xing broke through to the second level, it still burned his skin.
Fortunately, after entering the underworld, the cold atmosphere suppressed the oven, and the sea of fire disappeared, and the outer layer of the oven gradually cooled down.
"Last time, the soul came in. This time, even the physical body came in. The warship's yin and yang shuttle function is really powerful." Zhao Xing looked around.
The ancient Yin warship was flying aimlessly, and the sight was mottled and dark. Zhao Xing found that it was sailing in a "dark cloud".
After taking care of the injury, Zhao Xing walked to a cabin at the bow of the ship and inserted the Shangtang Ling into it.
"Buzz~" The rudder was raised a little higher, and Zhao Xingyuan's soul came out of his body and imprinted his hands into the sunken card slot.
The orientation map of the underworld emerged in his mind, and at the same time, the ancient Yin warship remained motionless, ignoring the spatial flow of the underworld.
‘The current location corresponds to the outer sea of Japan in the underworld?”
"Why did you come here? Just this momentary flow, the change is really big.'
If Zhao Xing travels between Yin and Yang now, after he returns to the Yang world, his location will appear outside Japan.
"The best route back to Da Zhou——." Zhao Xing's palm began to squirm.
The mast of the ancient Yin warship began to roar fiercely, and dark clouds gathered in front.
"First jump into that dark cloud, jump four times in a row, and then you can follow the route of 'Gui Yin, Gui Zi, Gui Chen, Gui Wu' and cut into the great north-south Yin current."
"Follow the north and south Yin currents and return to the boundary of the Nineteen Prefectures."
It is relatively easy for Zhao Xing to control the ancient Yin warship. As long as he remembers "Yin and Yang are opposite, the stems and branches are positioned, and the time is consistent," he can use the space flow of the underworld to travel.
The magic of the ancient Yin warship is that it can create the [Yinyun Road], open a small road by itself, and cut to the main road from any place.
For example, now, after Zhao Xing finished the operation, a thin mist-like tunnel filled the front of the warship.
The stern of the boat drew out a faint ripple that spread around.
The entire hull is no longer horizontal, but tilts slightly downward.
"The difference in potential between the front and back Yin currents makes it look a bit like Chi Tianya?"
"Oh, Li Boqian is a disciple of True Lord Tianyang. He must have used the ancient Yin warships. It seems that Chi Tianya was created by understanding the ancient Yin warships."
"I wonder why you are so familiar with it. The Yin Yun Dao is reversed, and it is the Yang Yun Dao when used in the Yang realm."
Now that my realm has improved to this point, when I look back on many things, my experience will be different.
"Li Boqian created this cloud method. His intention was to use the cloud method to distort space to the extent of changing the rules of heaven and earth."
"I suspect that Old Li Tou wants to create 99 stable and unchanging cloud paths in the human world."
"If it can really be achieved to this extent, the efficiency of transportation in the Yang world in the Nineteen States will be completely comparable to that in the Yin world."
The delivery efficiency of the Yin God is very fast. By using the regular spatial flow of the underworld, it can arrive in an instant.
Li Boqian went for the ultimate cloud method!
If he could make 99 cloud paths exist in the world and spread forever.
Then the Great Zhou Dynasty could use the Cloud Road to transport supplies and troops.
Its transportation efficiency far exceeds that of the geographically advantageous [Ancient Tunnel]!
"Every great minister has great ambitions."
Using the Dharma to observe people, Zhao Xing peeked into Li Boqian's heart.
The cloud road spreads forever and connects nineteen states. What an aspiration it is!
"It seems that the cloud method of Chi Tianya is not for personal use at all. However, there is little hope of achieving such a level."
From Zhao Xing's perspective, Chi Tianya must first reach the ultimate level.
Secondly, Li Boqian still has to reach the [Establishment of Dao Realm] (
Only in this way can it be possible for the Cloud Road to connect the nineteen states.
However this is only possible.
Take True Lord Lihuo as an example. His method of [Traveling by Borrowing Fire] uses the Lihuo Altar to achieve long-distance teleportation.
"Zhenjun Lihuo is a Taoist realm + divine weapon, which can achieve long-distance teleportation."
"Li Boqian wants to establish Taoist realm + cloud method to achieve this effect without paying the price." Zhao Xing smiled softly.
Unfortunately, this idea was doomed to fail.
"It is impossible for Li Boqian to reach the [Establishing Dao Realm]. Without the recovery of spiritual energy, the normal Li Dao Realm, the entire Yuan Qi era, not counting those half-dead old guys, can be counted on one hand."
"Emperor Jingdu should only be in the realm of normal rules. It may be very close to establishing the Tao, but it definitely cannot be the realm of normal establishing the Tao." Zhao Xing thought.
"It is not easy to innovate the ultimate cloud method. Secondly, the situation in the Yin world is different from that in the Yang world." Zhao Xing thought.
"From this point of view, Kunpeng Transformation is not the ultimate method, and Yunfa Ruler Tianya is not the ultimate method. There is only "Yuan Feng", which may be the ultimate method."
"Old Li doesn't have long to live. He will definitely go before Emperor Jing. When things happen here, I have to go find him and learn the art of past lives."
The "Yuan Feng" method in the previous life was only mentioned once or twice in the biography of the Great Sinong Li Boqian, and it was obviously not inherited.
It is now the sixteenth year of the Great Reign, and Li Boqian is about to die during the Yongzhi period. His lifespan and that of King Tianyan should be about the same.
"Xu Xing died in the seventeenth year of Dazhi. A few decades later, Xuanyuan Qingtian, the leader of the Dili faction in Kunyuan Academy, will also die, followed by Li Boqian, the great minister."
"Emperor and courtiers, not only farmers, but also leaders of other professions, will all die one after another, and finally Emperor Jing."
Xu Xing died the earliest, not because he had practiced Ten Thousand Dharma Cultivation, but mainly because he was already older.
Wanfa Cao Ren only makes people go crazy, rather than shortening their lifespan. Therefore, in the 17th year of the Great Reign, Xu Xing died, even if he had not practiced Wan Dharma Cao Ren.
Three days later.
"Peng~"
A black cloud exploded at the rear of the warship, and the next moment Zhao Xing saw a string of aurora flashing past, and a shadowy ghost passing by.
"We have returned to the Great Zhou Realm, which should correspond to the East China Sea Islands."
"It's fast to travel this way, but it's a pity that it can't be used as a conventional method." Zhao Xing thought to himself.
No matter what realm you are in, as long as you haven't died and become a ghost, you can stay in the underworld for up to seven days.
Entering the physical body is even more temporary. Even if you stay on the ancient Yin warship, you can only stay for five days.
For more than five days, no matter how strong you are, your physical body will disintegrate and collapse, and that is a real way to death.
"Now that I have acquired so many treasures and become a very important figure in Longting Ancient Land, I have to meet Emperor Jing no matter what." Zhao Xing thought to himself.
You have to go to see me in person, otherwise it will be disrespectful.
On the fourth day, Zhao Xing arrived at the underworld area corresponding to Tianyong Prefecture.
"Whoosh~"
The ancient Yin warship appeared in the private palace of True Lord Tianyang.
The aurora flashed in the distance, the spatial flow disappeared, and he entered a stable underworld area.
"Master~Master~"
Zhao Xing stood at the bow of the boat and shouted loudly.
Not long after, True Lord Tianyang flew out of the palace.
Seeing Zhao Xing's body and soul on the warship, Tianyang Zhenjun couldn't help but be happy.
"Disciple, it's only the end of the 16th year of Dazhi, why did you come out?"
"Since your body is like this, have you gone to see a doctor for acupuncture and cupping?"
Zhao Xing saluted and said, "Master, I'm fine, just some superficial injuries."
"My disciple didn't just escape when he was in danger."
"Look, how many good things I brought out?"
Zhao Xing waved his hand to remove the barrier from the ancient Yin warship, revealing the piles of treasures.
What hasn’t True Lord Tianyang seen?
He originally planned to cooperate with his disciple and exclaim.
As a result, when I saw what was on the boat, my fake shock turned into real shock.
"Wow!"
"Are you taking over the Dragon Clan's lair?"
True Lord Tianyang was really shocked.
There are piles of treasures!
As the chief minister in charge of a country's finances, what hasn't he seen?
But he has never seen this scene before!
There are mountains of [Ancient Ambergris], mountains of [Dragon Blood Sacred Leaf], whole blocks of [Dragon Crystal Marrow] calculated by the ton, and more than twenty pieces of treasure-level magic weapons--"
—
What is even more shocking is the Fuming Furnace and the Kunyuan Divine Hoe!
When Zhenjun Tianyang saw these two things, he started to curse.
"What a barbarian! This, this is——me, am I not dazzled?'
Zhao Xing picked up the Shennong hoe and handed it to True Lord Tianyang with a smile: "Feel it, let me inspect the product to see if it is true."
With Shennong's hoe in hand, Tianyang Zhenjun immediately became energetic, and his whole body was golden, as if coated with a layer of divine light.
"It can't be fake! It can't be fake!" Tianyang Zhenjun held the Shennong hoe and dug down.
"L mouth~,
Bright yellow mist emerged from Shennong's hoe, and the land of the underworld below the warship suddenly shrunk out of thin air.
Tianyang Zhenjun's palace suddenly became a palace on a thousand-meter mountain.
"It's it, it's it!" Tianyang Zhenjun was excited.
He lifted the Kunyuan Divine Hoe and put it in front of his eyes to examine it.
The disappeared land shrank into a tiny piece of mud and appeared on the hoe blade.
When Zhao Xing saw this, he nodded slightly. As expected of the newly appointed Great Sinong, he showed the power of the Kunyuan Divine Hoe right away.
Otherwise, it is said that the ancient artifacts are awesome. Just go down with the hoe and dig out a thousand meters of soil in a radius of twenty kilometers.
Seeing that Tianyang Zhenjun wanted to dig again, Zhao Xing said quickly: "Master, stop digging, stop digging, you still want to live here, please find another place."
"Yes." Tianyang Zhenjun immediately took Zhao Xingfei to another place and started digging to his heart's content.
The excavated soil was thrown into the space flow, and several mountains formed and disappeared. The old man had a great time playing.
It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that he finally stopped.
"It's fun, it's fun!"
True Lord Tianyang held the hoe, stood at his feet, and sighed with satisfaction: "Disciple, one of my great regrets in life is that I could not hold the Kunyuan Divine Hoe."
"I never thought that a wish that could not be fulfilled while alive would be fulfilled after a few hundred years of death."
He handed the Kunyuan Divine Hoe to Zhao Xing: "Master, thank you. Now I can die without any regrets."
The life of a great Sinong who has not picked up the Shennong hoe is incomplete. Other social artifacts are not as meaningful as it.
"Master, you are still polite to me." Zhao Xing took the Shennong hoe with a smile: "I still have something to give to you."
"Hahaha, let me be healthy, how can I be filial to my disciples?"
True Lord Tianyang was so happy that he and Zhao Xing flew back to the ancient Yin warship.
Zhao Xing rolled up a large portion of ancient ambergris and the holy dragon blood leaf.
Tianyang Zhenjun's eyes lit up, "Disciple, this level is a bit high."
It's not like he has never seen ambergris and dragon blood holy leaf, but the grade here is obviously different.
"Of course, this is for the exclusive use of the Dragon King!"
"Here, you try it and see how it tastes."
"Look, we crush it first, then roll it up with the dragon blood holy leaves, and then we use the dragon crystal marrow to ignite it... This is how the Dragon King smokes it!"
After Zhao Xing made some operations, a large cigarette appeared.
He lit it and held it half up before handing it to True Lord Tianyang.
"S~"
Tianyang Zhenjun took a deep breath, his face was filled with intoxication, as if he was in a state of ecstasy.
After holding it for a long time, it slowly let out a breath.
"How?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Enough!" Zhenjun Tianyang nodded fiercely.
As a Yin God, these are the things he likes most.
The tributes from dragons and tributes from humans are of course different in intensity.
What's more, this is exclusive to Dragon King, even the style is different!
With such a halo bonus and its original effect being excellent, the old man was extremely happy.
"I will leave a portion just for you." Zhao Xing waved his hand and sent a batch to Zhenjun Tianyang's palace. "Don't tell anyone else, or there will be Yin gods coming to rub off on you."
"Hahaha, why are you so sneaky?" Tianyang Zhenjun was happy, "Don't worry, even if that guy Bo Qian comes down, I won't give him anything!"
This belongs to my disciple Sun Xiaojing! Want it? Find it yourself!
Seeing the happy look of True Lord Tianyang, Zhao Xing was also happy.
True Lord Tianyang had helped him a lot. When he was in Tianhe Mansion, without the personal protection of True Lord Tianyang, how could he have dared to act recklessly.
He also gave himself a Shangtang Token, which can travel between the Yin and Yang realms and is the key to later resurrection.
Combined with the Heavenly Soul Fruit, it can be equal to a second life!
"Disciple, you have gained a lot in Longting."
"Come, tell me, Master, what happened."
True Lord Tianyang was very interested and pulled Zhao Xingfei to ask him to tell the story of Dragon Court.
The two of them started to have a family life in the palace.
"What? There is such a thing in the Dragon King's Code!"
"You exchanged it from Yin Xiu and then used it to summon Yin Xiu? Hahahaha, absolutely amazing! That dragon king probably doesn't even know what he missed."
"The Palace of Secret Sa? Can it influence the Dragon King to challenge the mission? Hiss——"
"The Purple Bone Heavenly Lord of the White Bone Sect paid tribute to you with eighteen treasures? Where did the White Bone Sect come from with so many good things? That idiot might even pawn the bones, hahahaha!"
The laughter in the palace basically never stopped.
Tianyang Zhenjun smoked ancient ambergris, listened to Zhao Xing's story about his experience, and occasionally glanced at the Kunyuan Divine Hoe. This was simply the happiest and most comfortable time for him.
However, time is limited after all. Zhao Xing has stayed here for more than four days and has to go out.
"Master, disciples and grandsons must go out."
True Lord Tianyang flicked the bullet and felt a little reluctant to give it up.
But he also knew that he couldn't keep Zhao Xing for too long.
"Your return from this trip is confidential, but since you have returned to Tianyong Prefecture, you should meet with Your Majesty and make arrangements later."
"Yes." Zhao Xing listened obediently.
"I have informed Li Boqian that he is on his way back, so you tear the passage from here,
After I left, I went directly to his Da Sinong Mansion and then listened to his arrangements."
"Disciple, I am timid. If I meet His Majesty suddenly, I will inevitably lose my etiquette. Master is still thoughtful." Zhao Xing complimented.
"Don't be afraid!" Zhenjun Tianyang waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "I watched your majesty grow up. He may not be called a benevolent king, but he is definitely not narrow-minded."
Zhao Xing remained silent. The old man could comment like this, but he didn't dare to respond.
"Go and meet with confidence. You have Li Boqian, Liu Tianning, and Meng Kun looking after you, and you have the support of Master Meng Haishan and me."
"The world is so big, you can go anywhere!"
Tianyongzhou, Fengjing, Dongcheng.
Da Sinong's Mansion, Four Seasons Garden.
"~"
A black crack emerged from the top of the Four Seasons Garden. On the comb pole, the black bird flag reflected the void, spread its wings, and continued to expand the crack.
The sky changes suddenly and the wind howls.
However, after it expanded to a certain extent, twelve golden lights appeared in the sky, like nails holding the sky curtain in place.
As a result, the vision no longer spreads, and the wind and sunshine are still beautiful around the black cracks.
Li Boqian, the great farmer, stretched out his hand and pointed, and a cloud path spread diagonally, like a life ladder, and first brought down the large object of Fuming Oven.
Then came a lot of treasure materials, and a figure sliding down the ladder.
The black cracks dissipated without any sound or movement, as if nothing had happened.
"Zhao Xing meets Da Sinong!"
Li Boqian looked at the wounds on Zhao Xing's body and helped him up.
"Zhao Xing, thank you for your hard work."
"Don't worry, it's just a minor injury." Zhao Xing smiled and said, "Just treat it with some medicine."
"No, what I mean by hard work is that you have to endure the hard work and don't recover yet." Li Boqian pointed to the wound. "It healed too quickly, not enough to show your merit."
"You have brought back so many precious materials and artifacts. If you get them all, others will think you are easy. If you get them too easily, others will not value the fruits of your labor."
Zhao Xing was stunned.
He looked around.
As expected, there were mirrors in all directions, accurately reflecting his wounds and the tattered fragments of his robes.
You are truly worthy of being a great farmer!
Zhao Xing admired from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay, you put it on first." Seeing that the photo shoot was almost done, Li Boqian gave Zhao Xing a new crown uniform.
Taking advantage of Zhao Xing's change of clothes, Li Boqian also came to the oven and picked up the artifact [Kunyuan Divine Hoe].
"It really is."
Li Boqian was also extremely excited at this time.
You may have heard about it, but when you actually hold the Kunyuan God Hoe in your hand, you really feel its charm.
The reason why the Kunyuan Divine Hoe is called the Shennong Hoe is because it has a different meaning to Sinong.
True Lord Tianyang remembered it even after his death, so one can imagine its status.
"I'm better than the old man, hahaha." Li Boqian smiled proudly.
When the old man was a farmer, he had many magical weapons, but he had never been involved in a war. Even the Mountain and River Map and the Twenty-Four Solar Terms had not been used seriously.
Many artifacts will not exert their full power without fighting!
In addition, True Lord Tianyang never took the Kunyuan Divine Hoe before his death!
"In the history of the Zhou Dynasty, he was the first great farmer to hold a Shennong hoe!" Li Boqian smiled proudly.
"I can brag about it with you seniors when I go down later."
Especially when meeting the god of agriculture from the Geographical faction.
What? Senior, you haven’t used a Shennong hoe yet?
Damn, I've tried it, but it's actually just average.
"Hehe, hehe--" Thinking of this pretentious scene, Li Boqian couldn't help but yearn for it, and wished he could go there as soon as possible.
Zhao Xing, who was changing clothes next to him, looked at Li Boqian immersed in silly fun and didn't know what to say. He was not the leader of the Geographical Sect. If he brought Shennong's hoe to Kunyuan Academy, he didn't know what would happen.
sensation.
But he couldn't care about that at this time. Now that he was back, he had a lot of official matters to deal with.
For example, the internal situation of Longting, the ownership of treasures, the meeting with Emperor Jing, etc.
At this time, Zhao Xing sealed his memory palace again.
He had done this before entering Tianyong Province. Although he was already in the second-grade Tianyun realm and it was impossible for his inner thoughts to be discovered, when he arrived in Fengjing, he kept a low profile when he should.
"Zhao Xing, you brought these treasures back." Li Boqian finally got down to business. "What are your plans?"
Zhao Xing had already made a decision and immediately expressed his attitude: "The Dragon King's Code has been bound to the soul of the lower official. Kunyuan Divine Hoe will stay temporarily to understand its mysteries, understand its methods, observe its principles, and prepare for the annotation of the scriptures.
.”
"The rest of the treasures are willing to be handed over to the treasury and handed over to Da Sinong for deployment."
The attitude is shown first, but the Dragon King Code and the Kunyuan Divine Hoe are not going to discuss it.
As for other treasures, handing them over is also a matter of attitude.
The imperial court will definitely not be able to ask for everything. It will definitely leave a part for him personally, and the part he takes away will also be exchanged for success.
In addition, Zhao Xing was talking about handing it over to the national treasury, not the royal inner treasury. These are two different things.
Isn't it still in charge of the treasury, Da Si Nong? Once Li Boqian dies, Lao Liu will be in charge, going around and around, which is equivalent to still keeping it in his own pocket.
So Zhao Xing's attitude was very satisfactory.
As for dragon eggs and spiritual liquid, needless to say, they are not something that can be taken out. They have the same properties as the Dragon King's Code and the Kunyuan Divine Hoe.
Li Boqian nodded slightly: "You are willing to hand it all over, which shows your intentions. However, the imperial court will not include everything in the treasury, otherwise what would it be like?"
"I will discuss with the other chief officials and leave you a portion of the work, and then report it to Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty will also reward you for your contribution."
"As for the Dragon King Codex and the Kunyuan Divine Hoe, I should also report to Your Majesty. They should also appear on the list, and then His Majesty will issue an edict to give it to you. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhao Xing said respectfully: "I understand."
He brought the artifact back, which was also the official work of the imperial court. It was all cultivated by the imperial court. Your Majesty is wise!
It’s true that you have great achievements, but you also have to be humble and low-key.
In this way, both face and heart are saved, and everyone is happy.
Chatted with Zhao Xing for a while and set the tone and process.
Li Boqian nodded with satisfaction.
He was most afraid that Zhao Xing would be overwhelmed by his achievements and become arrogant.
It has been sixteen years since the reign of Emperor Da Zhi. How many arrogant civil servants and generals have disappeared? Li Boqian knows this very well!
Even Wang Tianzhi was initially persuaded by him to resign his post and pursue cultivation.
However, his worries were completely unnecessary, Zhao Xing had already seen through Emperor Jing.
It is impossible to be arrogant and indulgent, just ask Emperor Jing not to do it.
After Li Boqian finished his instructions, he began to count carefully.
Suddenly, he looked at eighteen treasures among them.
"Huh? Why are there so many human treasures? Three Southern Barbarian [Witch Immortal Cauldrons], five Golden Feather Divine Armors, four Spirit Witch Staffs, and these three bone weapons, the refining techniques are clearly from the White Bone Sect--
----How come there are both the Orochi Kingdom’s sacred weapons [Amancong Yun Sword] and [Qiong Magatama Sword]?”
Li Boqian didn't know about Zhao Xing's deception of Zigu Tianzun, and the information was not timely.
Zhao Xing smiled and said: "It's a long story. When I entered the Palace of Secrets——"
After listening to what he said, Li Boqian was stunned for a moment.
"It's so refreshing. Such a large royal court and a top sect are actually being fooled by you."
"Hahahaha, the White Bone Sect doesn't have so many good things, most of them are borrowed."
"I'm afraid it's going to go bankrupt now."
Not allowed to go bankrupt?
For the next few hundred years, Purple Bone Heavenly Lord will have to work like crazy to pay off the sect's debts.
After talking about official duties, Zhao Xing no longer addressed himself to his official duties.
"Teacher, I heard that Xu Xing, the dean of Shangluo Academy, is about to return home. I want to give him a ride."
Hearing this, Li Boqian nodded: "His time is indeed running out. As far as I know, Xu Xing will die at the beginning of the first month of next year."
"You came back through the Order of Shangtang. It cannot be exposed, so you will show up again in the 20th year of the Great Reign and when the Dragon Court is closed."
"It's happened in Fengjing, please go and see me off."
"Yes." Zhao Xing also understood that now is not the time to disclose too many things.
Even if Kunyuan Divine Hoe is brought to Kunyuan Academy, it is not just a matter of running there. It needs to be announced to the world and a grand ceremony must be held, but it was only twenty years after the great rule.
"You need to rest for a day and get ready for the interview tomorrow."
"yes.'
On December 7, the sixteenth year of the Great Reign, Zhao Xing secretly entered the palace, accompanied by Li Boqian, the chief minister.
Emperor Jing Ji Mingjing met with Zhao Xing in Tianyuan Hall.
"My lord, Zhao Xing, pays homage to Your Majesty!"
"May your Majesty live forever!"
Zhao Xing did not raise his head all the way. When he entered the palace, he saw the light on the throne from the corner of his eye and bowed respectfully.
Li Boqian also made a full salute.
"No gift."
A majestic voice came from the throne.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Xing bowed again and then stood up.
Only then did he take a look at the figure on the throne.
The figure on the throne is majestic, like a towering mountain, exuding irresistible majesty.
Wearing a purple and gold robe, embroidered with mysterious runes, every line is flowing with powerful power, and the golden light shines like stars.
His face is resolute and cold, and his eyes are as deep as abyss, seeming to contain endless wisdom and keen insight into everything.
The light that occasionally flashes in his eyes seems to penetrate the fog of time and space, making people afraid to look directly.
Wearing a bright crown on his head, there are nineteen gems shining on it. Each gem carries great power, and the light emitted interweaves into a mysterious brilliance, covering his body.
Zhao Xing's brows jumped at this glance, because Emperor Jing's body was too tall, more than ten meters tall!
A complete giant!
"Give me a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Xing and Li Boqian saluted again, but there was no need to perform a full salute at this time. They walked in a square step and knelt down in front of the two tables on the left.
At this time, the golden light on Ji Mingjing's body faded away, becoming a little less majestic and a little more approachable.
The fact that the meeting is not public means that the atmosphere of this meeting is a relatively easy-going chat between the monarch and his ministers.
"Your Majesty, I have something happy to report." After taking his seat, Li Boqian spoke.
"Oh? What a joy."
"Shenwei Hou Zhao Xing returned from Longting ahead of schedule and gained a lot, far exceeding my expectations." Li Boqian said.
In fact, Emperor Jing has known about it for a long time, and now he is going through the process.
When Zhao Xing heard this, he stood up immediately and reported immediately:
"Thanks to His Majesty's great blessing, I was lucky enough to obtain twenty-three treasure-level artifacts in the ancient land, a total of 1,752 treasure-level materials [ancient ambergris], and five treasure-level [Dragon Blood Sacred Leaves].
One thousand eight hundred and nineteen pieces, treasure level [Dragon Crystal Marrow] sixty one thousand two hundred and sixty."
"There are also three rare treasures: the Dragon King Codex, the Kunyuan Divine Hoe, and the Fuming Furnace."
The weight unit of Dazhou is about 120 kilograms per cup.
In other words, the treasure-grade material [ancient ambergris] is approximately 105 tons.
【Dragon Blood Sacred Leaf】approximately 349 tons.
The largest amount is [Marrow of Dragon Crystal], with 3672 tons!
Treasure grade materials, must be compared with anchor baht!
Anchor and baht are both units of weight, which are equivalent to grams. One can imagine how much goods Zhao Xing brought back from Longting.
Apart from being scammed, many things are still unique!
If Mr. Zhao is not afraid of being hunted and defectes from the country, he can go abroad and create a top sect by himself with these things.
Of course, this is a stupid move. Soon it will be the period of Emperor Wu, and the Xuanhuang Realm will be full of wars. At this time, abandoning the Zhou Dynasty and joining a foreign vassal? That would be too stupid.
After the report, Emperor Jing also showed a smile and praised: "Chen An has done a great job, he is truly a blessed general!"
This was a very high praise, and it was even more rare to hear it from Emperor Jing. The historian behind the curtain quickly wrote it down.
Zhao Xing immediately paid homage and said, "I dare not take any credit. My achievements today are all due to the training of the imperial court. Your Majesty is wise."
"I am willing to hand over all the harvest to enrich our treasury in return for Your Majesty's kindness."
Emperor Jing nodded slightly: "I am very pleased that you have such intention, so I will fulfill your wish."
Zhao Xing had to thank Emperor Jing and bowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I can't help but appreciate your contribution." Emperor Jing said, "Kun Yuan Divine Hoe is of great benefit to you, so I allow you to stay with me."
"Treasures and magical weapons are foreign objects and are difficult to be found in the elegant hall. Just go to the palace's inner treasury and choose three of your choice."
Twenty-three items were handed in, and Emperor Jing gave three more items, or three of his choice. This reward was not too generous.
As for the ancient ambergris, dragon crystal marrow, and dragon blood sacred leaves, Emperor Jing put them in the list of rewards for promotion to high positions.
Because Zhao Xing possesses the Dragon King Codex, these things can still be used.
"Zhao Xing, you were originally from the third rank waiting to be transferred. When Longting was closed, I made you the third rank.
Choose a blessed place to serve as an official, cultivate your luck, cultivate your skills, and consolidate your realm."
"The honor will be promoted to the twelfth level, and one million acres of land will be added. It will be decided by Bo Qian and other tribes."
"In addition, I will give you a gold medal to avoid death, 500 pieces of ancient ambergris, 2,000 dragon blood holy leaves, 10,000 pieces of dragon crystal marrow, and the ninth-level heavy weapon 'Wu Yao warship'." Specially given to the imperial court, the military world
Inspection of the cave."
After saying the reward, Zhao Xing bowed happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
This is already a generous reward from Emperor Jing.
The honors and official positions were all promoted, and even the fiefdoms related to the titles were rewarded, doubling Zhao Xing's original fiefdoms.
One-third of the treasure-grade materials were given back, and Zhao Xing was also given permission to equip heavy warships, opening up many permissions to him.
For example, the imperial court sergeant who can freely enter and leave the palace, the patrol envoy who can go to the major caves and blessed places in the military world, and the gold medal for immunity from death.
However, there must be a plan for a generous reward.
There was one thing that Emperor Jing never mentioned, and that was the Dragon King's Code.
As expected, after Zhao Xing thanked him, Emperor Jing asked, "Can I carry the Dragon Court Code with me?"
"Yes, please take a look, Your Majesty." Zhao Xing controlled his mutated body, then spit out the Dragon King Code and transformed into a human form, raising it respectfully above his head.
He knew that Emperor Jing wanted to confirm whether the Dragon King's Code was really bound to his soul.
~
Emperor Jing reached out and grabbed it, and the Dragon King's Codex floated in front of him.
Golden light rippled, and Zhao Xing felt a powerful force invading the Dragon Court Codex.
"Kaka~" Zhao Xing felt that his body was trembling, and his life soul was also being greatly oppressed.
In an instant, Zhao Xing was soaked in sweat.
But this pressure comes and goes quickly.
Soon the Dragon King Codex flew back.
"It is indeed a divine object." Emperor Jing commented.
"Let me ask you, if the imperial court gives you all the help, can you unify the Dragon Court in a short period of time and completely drive the other forces out of the ancient land?"
Sure enough, what was supposed to come came.
Emperor Jing really wanted Zhao Xing to unify Longting and completely turn it into the back garden of the Zhou Dynasty.
Zhao Xing cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Yichen's exploration in Longting over the years and his understanding of the Dragon Clan - it may be difficult to control Longting in a short period of time."
"What's the difficulty?"
Zhao Xing replied: "Although I can summon the Dragon King Yin Xiu, I can even summon other Dragon Kings, but I am limited to the Dragon King."
"In the ten major kingdoms, there is a great dragon king who is sleeping. With the code in my hands, I cannot give orders to the great dragon king."
"If it is the ruling Dragon King, I cannot change them at will. I will replace them with the Dragon Lords of our dynasty."
"The other two parts of the code exist in the Sea of Evil and the Abyss of Heaven."
"If you want to get it back, it will be even more difficult than conquering the Great Dragon King."
"If you can't get it back, you can't deprive the outside forces of their entry quota. They only need to hide in these two places."
"In other words, I can only use this code to suppress foreign forces for profit and kill them as much as possible.
But we cannot completely turn the ancient land into the territory of our dynasty."
After listening to Zhao Xing's statement, Emperor Jing was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and gave up the idea.
"The Dragon King's Code is a good thing. You must make good use of it and never fall into the hands of the enemy."
Zhao Xing knew what Emperor Jing was worried about, and immediately expressed his stance: "I will bear this in mind and will protect the interests of the Zhou Dynasty to the death."
At this point, the duel between the king and his ministers is basically over.
Emperor Jing left Zhao Xing and Li Boqian to have a simple meal in the palace, and then asked Zhao Xing in a formal manner about his strategies for dealing with natural disasters, the training of military officials and farmers, the Theory of Physics, the Annotations of the Two Classics, etc.
Zhao Xing's answer can be called excellent, but there is nothing shocking about it. It is just consistent with his status as a genius. Compared with his previous performance, it is quite satisfactory.
It was not until night that Zhao Xingcai and Li Boqian left the palace secretly.
After returning to Da Sinong Mansion, Zhao Xing took a long breath.
"Boy, this doesn't look like you." Li Boqian glanced at Zhao Xing strangely, "Why are you so nervous?"
"Perhaps it is the first time to face a saint and face the power of God, so it is inevitable to be nervous." Zhao Xing said.
Li Boqian nodded, not doubting that he was there.
"Xu Xing's time is running out. You can leave with me to Daoyuanzhou tomorrow."
"After you return, we will discuss the blessed land you want to go to."
"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Xing and Li Boqian left Tianyong Prefecture and headed to Shangluo Academy in Daoyuan Prefecture.
Just after leaving Tianyongzhou, Zhao Xing woke up with a start.
He recalled in his dream that the first thing he did was to check the Dragon King Codex.
"As expected, I really want to rule the Dragon Court. Fortunately, this thing is really soul binding. Otherwise, I'm afraid Emperor Jing would have to consider replacing him."
"From the third level to the third level? This improvement is within my expectation. There is a hurdle between the third level and the right level. If it is the right level, it means it will be of great use in the future. If it is just the level one, you will never be able to enter the core of the empire in your life."
"The honor was promoted to the twelfth level, the fiefdom was doubled, and the royal palace tour and the military realm patrol were added."
"Who wants to go to the palace? I don't want to go at all."
"It's good to patrol the Dongtian Paradise in the Military Realm. I have permission to go to many secret places."
"Wu Yao warship? This means that I can equip most weapons of war."
"The gold medal for immunity from death————? Just don't mention it."
Generally speaking, during the Dazhi period of the Jiazi purge, it was pretty good to receive such a reward.
Under normal circumstances, the reward would probably still be mentioned, but the amount would be limited.
Zhao Xing estimated that even if there were rewards after Emperor Jing, they would only be insignificant and false positions.
Why? He still has to leave room for his son.
Otherwise, in the Emperor Wu's dynasty, there would be nothing left for Zhao Xing to entrust, so how could he still employ people?
"Can I exchange it into the palace treasury three times? Hmm? Isn't there hope that I can get the Dream Academy out?" Zhao Xing was a little surprised.
Emperor Jing was really angry this time and moved out all the palace treasury to let him choose.
"When you get back, you must take a good look." Zhao Xing said secretly.
After all, the dragon clan's artifacts are for the dragon clan's use. As for the human clan's treasure trove, in the entire Xuanhuang Realm, only the treasure trove of the Nanman Sacred Mountain can compete with the inner treasury of the Great Zhou Palace.
"There should be no tampering with the Dragon Court Codex." Zhao Xing carefully observed the Dragon Court Codex again. "If Emperor Jing could tamper with a rare-level artifact, he would have just taken it away. There is no need to do this."
After checking again, Zhao Xing regained consciousness.
In the 16th year of the Great Reign, on December 20, Zhao Xing secretly arrived at Shangluo Academy in Daoyuanzhou, Shangluo County.
"Zhao Xing, why did you come out?"
In Shangluo Academy, under the Ten Thousand Dao Tree, in a secret attic, Zhao Xing met Liu Tianning.
"The process is a bit complicated. I came out secretly." Zhao Xing stared at Liu Tianning, trying to read some clues from his face: "Teacher, what state have you reached after more than ten years?"
"First grade, the first stage of the Palace of Life."
Zhao Xing's expression changed, "Is there anything unusual about you?"
After a pause, Liu Tianning sighed and said, "Yes, and the problem is huge."
